On my way home from work, I stopped off for a bacon sarnie, parked up behind a security van, got sandwich, returned to car, nodded to security guard, drove off.

Moments later, one of the guards got shot and the money stolen. I didn't see that, but my better half is saying that I should at least make a statement to the police, but I didn't actually see anything/anyone so don't think it's worth bothering!

Just wondering what the collective masses of PH thought.

I really can't see what use your statement would be, assuming it would be along the lines of "I saw him before he got shot and he looked fine".

best to at least speak to the police, even just to let them know you were in the area before someone goes " i saw a car drive away from the scene" and your mugshot ends up on Crimewatch!

I think its unlikely,unless you think your memory may be jogged?Might be worth posting this on the speeding and law forum:

It may be worth ringing your local nick to ask though,to be on the safe side.

Bacon sarnie's are usually eaten for breakfast, but whatever takes your fancy I suppose

It was this morning!

I've been on nights so stopped off for a Sandwich on the way home, usually sit in the car and eat it but drove off today so didn't know about what had happened until my missus mentioned it at tea time!

Might pop over to the cop shop in a few mins.

I take it you know which shooting I'm on about!

Depending on the area, I thought a car being driven like that is considered normal (Audley)

Best to have a word with the BIB, if only so your vehicle can be eliminated from the crime scene.

Best take a few packets of cigarettes with you. They're used as currency in prison and will hold you in good stead.

Going round to the cop shop I think before I pop off too work!

The police didn't seem that bothered. Probably out hassling motorists!

Lies. Bacon sandwiches are for drunken late night eating, it's Pizza that's for breakfast.

well if you open those things known as eyes, learn to read English and scroll upwards you'll notice (perhaps) that I may of mentioned nipping out to the cop shop and speaking to the BiB thus rendering your above comment pointless.

Have a nice night smile
